Davidian lawyers start questioning FBI agents about cameras, bugging Justice Department bars release of witness names 12/09/99 By Lee Hancock / The Dallas Morning News Lawyers for the Branch Davidians began questioning FBI agents under oath in Washington Wednesday in the first of a series of depositions aimed at determining what happened on the tragic final day of the 1993 Waco siege. Justice Department lawyers imposed strict secrecy, using a court order to prohibit the release of even the names of witnesses being called for the series of depositions, scheduled to continue through next week. A department spokesman declined to ...

Even though I am a conservative most of the time, I am a libertarian all of the time. It is what seated me next to a beaded, barefoot hippie in the 1970s both of us resisting mandatory fluoridation in my county. It is what made me leave the Republican Party for hypocritically allowing the country to drift towards greater government control. I have an offspring of idealistic liberal persuasion. I don’t preach but expect that at some time upbringing will overcome the Berkeley education. My child—male or female will not be disclosed—was part of the demonstration in Seattle and I ...

Recently Rosie O'Donnell saw fit to distort the record of the great Rudolph Giuliani on her so called "variety show".She accused Giuliani of wanting to take children away from their parents and wanting to rule the world among other lies and distortions. She even went so far as to show his phone number and fax on TV and encouraged her viewers to send him their complaints. I think she needs some of her own medicine so read on!Giuliani has done more good for NYC than all the liberal mayors NYC has had in the last 30 years. He has brought ...

I swore in 12 people down at my local pool hall and they voted that Martin Luther King was killed by a lone assassin. The most telling evidence seemed to be that James Earl Ray was in the room from which the shots was fired, the gun was his, his fingerprints were on the gun, and he confessed. Quite a stretch, huh? What kind of an idiot judge allows 12 other idiots taken off the street to deliberate such a momentous event on no evidence at all? A black judge, to be sure. For further information, I refer you to ...

Clinton's impending fall By Jeff Jacoby, Globe Columnist, 05/26/98 The president lies. He manipulates. He is corrupt. He uses his friends and maligns his foes. He drags the White House into swamps of sleaze, fouling American politics in ways none of his predecessors would have dared. He is cheap and shameless and cannot be trusted. Even his defenders know it, know it more acutely with each new scandal. No one wonders any longer about the shape Bill Clinton's ''legacy'' will take. There is nothing left to wonder about. His legacy is an Augean stable of dishonesty and dissipation, of access-peddling ...

WASHINGTON -- The Boeing Co. said this week that the lack of evidence as to what sparked the blast that downed TWA Flight 800 three years ago points to an ``external source,'' such as a bomb or missile. Boeing's statement in court documents Tuesday is the strongest to date revealing an aggressive legal defense that blames the 747 crash on a bomb or missile -- which the FBI and National Transportation Safety Board long ago ruled out. ``That the NTSB in over three years of exhaustive investigation has been unable to identify any potential ignition source aboard the aircraft ...

I wanted to send out a special thanks to Buckeroo, Badjoe, Topaz, Willa and all the other special FReepers (many more!)that ran the FANTASTIC fundraising threads the last two days! I don't have the total yet but it sure looked BIG! This will go along way in paying for bandwidth for the next couple of months (in other words, keeping FR "on the air")and help defray legal and other expnses! THANK YOU ALL!

Clinton uses Memorial to slain firemen hoping to improve his image and Gore uses it to improve his chances of becoming president. I make no appology for this observation since they both have proven they cannot be trusted to be anything but greedy and at the expense of whoever it hurts or whatever it takes to get gain for their personal agenda. If you agree or disagree let's hear from you.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nineteen states shipped billions of dollars more to Washington than they got back in aid and services, according to a report Thursday. Generally, states in the Northeast and around the Great Lakes, along with California and Nevada, were the biggest losers. Southern states fared the best. The 23rd annual Federal Budget and the States report was prepared by economists at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. It analyzed data from fiscal 1998. Herman Leonard, one of the authors, said states that did the best tended to be lower-income states where residents did not pay as ...

The dozen or so students in the suburban Chicago classroom are intelligent, articulate and fun to listen to as they take turns telling their stories. Then you realize that those entertaining tales are about cheating in school. One student shows how a graphing calculator can be programmed to show formulas that can be called up during a test. Another tells about a friend who makes small flash cards that he hides under his desk during an exam. And the students are virtually unanimous in admitting that they copy homework. "Kids, especially those in the top percent of their classes, ...

Does anyone have the link to the Internet version of the Fox News Channel so I can watch David Horowitz on Hannity and Colmes? My stupid cable company doesn't have it.

FreeRepublic has rented a booth at the upcoming CPAC conference in, DC Jan 20-21-22. We are busy attending to details but hit a snag. What should are slogan be? Of course, we will be emphasising the new organizations, the rallys, etc., but we need a snappy "theme slogan" to go under the header copy "FreeRepublic". Some suggestions last night were "We The People", "It Started as a Web Site", "Dedicated to Exposing Government Corruption, Media Bias and Fighting Unconstitutional Laws", etc. We need to tap that vast reservoir of FReeper creativity and come up with something short, to the point ...

Three years ago, Zachary Hood was in the first grade at Haines Elementary School in Medford, N.J. As a reward for special achievement in reading, his teacher said her best pupils could bring a book from home and read a favorite story to the class. This was how the lunacy began. The teacher, Grace Oliva, stipulated only that the content be "appropriate" for first graders. Zachary qualified for the honor. The great day arrived, and Zachary showed up, book in hand. Horrors! Gasp! Aaargh! The book was titled — The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories. We may imagine the consternation ...

The KKK is a supranational organization that seeks to enforce religious and racial relations between people of different nations and backgrounds to ultimately weed out nationalism and non-whites off of the planet. The WTO is a supranational organization that seeks to enforce economic and political relations between nations and states to ultimately weed out nationalism off of the planet. To me WTO is no better than KKK, it maybe even worse.

SEOUL, Dec 9 (AFP) - The singer half-brother of US President Bill Clinton has vowed to return to North Korea and to brief the world's most powerful man on his visit to the isolated Stalinist state, Pyongyang claimed Thursday. "If there is something that I like to say to the Koreans freely, one must claim, I'll be back," Roger Clinton reportedly told the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) in an interview seen here. "I promise to convey all of my feelings, all of my lessons and all the information I have got from brave people to our people and to ...

Prime Minister Jean Chretien's government will be on full Y2K alert New Year's Eve and ready to invoke an updated War Measures Act if needed, sources have told the Sun. The Emergencies Act, which was passed in 1988, gives cabinet sweeping powers to issue whatever orders or regulations it believes are necessary to deal with emergencies such as major power outages caused by computer glitches or civil insurrections, major riots and prison revolts. Depending on the emergency -- such as a nuclear accident -- manpower, vehicles, equipment, food and clothing could be mobilized. Failure to comply could lead to fines ...
